| Σύνοψη: | Rev. Rus Cooper-Dowda writes about Terri Schindler-Schiavo, a woman the courts recently declared can be starved to death for being too disabled. The author was once in that situation. Here she shares both stories about being perceived as being better dead than different. The following was written during and after a fall 2002 hearing over whether there is a right to rehabilitative therapy. A preliminary version of this article has also been published by The Edmonds Institute as one of their “Occasional Papers.” Earlier versions of the material have also appeared on the Website of the Terri Schindler-Schiavo Foundation, Ragged Edge Online, www.Ican.com, and on the listserv of the International Network on Bioethics and Disability. |
